Cases

That's an interesting question. Typically I just keep it in my coat pocket at work, or pants pocket otherwise without a case. I've got one of those "Invisible Shield" screen protectors that has protected it even from my cat's claws (touch screen wasn't meant for cats, but no harm done). So typically I don't use a case.

However, I was just looking for some kind of waterproof case, I mean completely waterproof, for when I potentially go rafting and/or rock climbing. I can't vouch for any yet, but I've heard good things about the "Otterbox" cases. I don't plan on actually using the device while in the water of course, but it might be necessary to keep it with me. I'm kinda compulsive about that with my phones. So, as for cases, that remains to be seen. I think the Seidio 2000mAh battery would fit most anything (I don't know about the 2400mAh, but I'm sure I'll own one soon) as it really doesn't add much size at all to the phone. As for the Mugen 3000 mAh, well, I don't know what that would fit in. That battery and case make the phone a total of one inch thick the entire length of the phone. The Seidio battery and cover only add about 1/8th inch thickness in a 1&1/2" width and 1&1/4th" length on the back of the phone.

Anyway, if I find something good I'll post here; but for everyday use just the screen protector works well enough for me.

IF anyone has any suggestions for this battery and a case, i'd be grateful and interested as well. the stock cover that comes from mugen is crap with a capital C. it keeps sliding off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] BPB21:
I 2nd that...

This is true; it is really easy to knock the Mugen cover off. The one saving grace about that cover's design is that even if the cover comes loose you don't necessarily take the battery with it (at least in my experience). I would be interested if anyone can find a cover that fits the 3000 mAh battery. (I mean, other than the submersible Otterbox cases - those fit, but you can't really use the device...)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dougalls:
The phone (with a standard battery fitted) just fits into an otterbox 1000, which is the cheapest one they do. I got the transparent one but the phone screen is obscured. I keep it in the box whilst I work outside, with a waterproof bluetooth headset. It's a tough box.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] BPB21:
Otterbox

I've actually taken the phone skiing (well, I didn't buy it a lift ticket or anything). It was in my ski jacket pocket (and I tend to do runs more advanced than I am) and despite my sometimes dramatic falls the phone held up well. So it's a pretty durable device, but I wouldn't do that every day with it.

Speaking of that Otterbox - I was looking at the same thing and trying to measure it from the given inside dimensions. Which way does it just barely fit: length, width, or thickness? I would think the phone would be just a bit too long for the case, but hopefully not? And then, if I had the Seidio 2000mAh battery (which adds maybe 1/8" thickness, if that) installed would that fit as well?

Otterbox 1900

Hi. I own an otterbox 1900. I´ve used it a lot with my Axim and after that with my Eten m700. I took it rafting, dirt biking on the mountains and snowboarding many times. You can charge the device while in the box, and use the device while keeping it protected by a clear rubber membrane.

The Fuze fits easy inside, but I have the stock cover and battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Pumpiron579:
I bought one, I have it and it makes your phone look like a brick. hey, the Battery will last days but it is just Huge.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] BPB21:
Big batteries

I've got the 3000mAh battery (by the way, I saw the 2400mAh battery on eBay; how does its size compare with the 3000mAh battery?). I use my phone heavily, all day. I'll connect it with my laptop via bluetooth to use internet sharing, sometimes I'll be talking on the phone at the same time, and I heavily use email on the phone, plus Word and Excel files and internet browsing, plus occassional testing and configuring of wifi routers using the phone's wifi, all on a given day. I'm not always near a charger so for me I need all the power I can get, even if it is only an extra 600mAh.

On the other hand, people routinely ask me "what is thbat?" (or more accurately, "what the hell is that?") when they see my brick of a phone. So yeah, it does make it quite bulky compared to even the 2000mAh battery. But if you're a power user and need all the extra you can get then it is worth it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] sanjsrik:
I complained to the guys at nakedcellphone.com and the guy sent me a new cover for the Mugen battery, have to say, amazing service. I should have given them kudos weeks ago. The new cover for the Mugen does NOT slide off and is very good.

Now, I need a hard case for this thing. Anyone know of a place I can get one?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] BPB21:
New Mugen cover

How is the new cover different? Shaped differently or just fits more snugly, or both? I got mine from them, and it may be too late for me to complain since I've had it for a while now, but do you think they'd send me one if I asked? I'd even pay for it (not $60 or howevermuch, but some) if the cover is that good.

The best "hard case" I've found is by Otterbox, but I don't think that's the kind you've got in mind.

Let me know the details on that different Mugen battery cover; I could use that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Pumpiron579:
Although it has a Sony Ericsson Emblem on it, This is the one I use and it fits perfect.

Pics?

Does anyone have any pics of the Fuze with the larger capacity batteries installed?...David.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Pumpiron579:
Here is a Few I just took. My Fuze has a Mugen 3000mAh Battery in it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] sanjsrik:
Nothing is different, I am guessing that the new one they sent just didn't fall off as much. Maybe the original one sent was defective.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dpcole72:
I also saw that Mugen battery and drooled, but for $100... Amazon.com has a Cameron Sino 2400mAh battery for $20... 3000mAh is probably more a custom item to begin with, but a 600mAh increase for only $80?

I've used Cameron Sino batteries before -- never had a problem.

Good replacement case cover as well - it doesn't fall off...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] sanjsrik:
A link to the Amazon battery would be nice, the only thing I was able to find on Amazon searching on the Cameron Sino 2400 battery is one for the Treo.

Thanks, but this is only for the Fuze, not the TouchPro Sprint from what I can see.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dpcole72:
Oh. :( Sorry about that... yeah, the GSM one is for AT&T and T-Mobile only if I recall...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tjotji:
I have tried out quite a few roms on my device, and the new 6.5 beta roms are great... I especially like the start menu.

The only thing is, that I really love M2D! The new titanium plugin is ok, but nothing beats manilla!

So I decided to skin my 6.1 rom with M2D, to give it a 6.5 feel, and this is the result....

start menu:

hone screen:

scrolling action:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The apps I used to achieve this effect are as follows...

-Start menu button hook, which allows you to remap the start menu text/or winlogo

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427392

-Mort buttons, the most configurable app launcher out there!

http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...st&category=14

-The program I used for the transparent look on the taskbar and menubar is wisbar advance (BTW this is not true transparency, this can't be achieved, believe me I've tried!) You can download a trial here:

http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/

or do a google search for v.1.xx, which is still available for free on some sites.

If you want to have a transparent slider background in m2d, you have to change the HTCHomeSettings.xml and reinstall with the m2d customizer:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486712

(again no true transparency!)

In the next posts I will explain how I used and skinned these programs to achieve this effect. I'm good at modifying, but I know sh*t about programming!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tjotji:
explanation...

The start menu

First install mortbuttons, and the start button hook...

You will need a registry editor to map mortbuttons to the start menu.. I use phm registry editor, you can find it here:http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

Go to HKCU/Software/allelimo/StartButton

-if you want to map mortbuttons to the startmenu text set the HookText value to 1

-the Run value is automatically set to your program files folder, so if you installed mortbuttons on your device instead of your storage card, just change the value to:

MortButtons/MortButtons.exe (it will not run a seperate button from mortbuttons, only the .exe!). If you have it installed elsewhere specify the full path..

-soft reset your device and now the start menu is mapped!

If you like the honeycomb I made you can download it at the bottom..

Just unzip and put the honeycomb.mbz in the skins folder, which is in the MortButtons folder on your device, the 3 .gif files I included change the 'back-button' and the 'exit-button'. If want to do this, just overwrite the 3 .gif files in the Mortbuttons folder with them.

Go to the Mortbuttons Setup Menu, press display and under 'Skin:' select honeycomb, to use your own background, under 'Display style:' select User background and select the picture you want.

You will now have a honeycomb like setup when you press start!

To configure the icons, go back to the Mortbuttons Setup Menu and press 'Edit Menus'. Each button icon can be changed by pressing 'Menu Settings' and using the 'Icon' button (I use a dll file for the icons, it's also at the bottom of this post)

Make sure the button, that you want shown on your menu has the 'Show in Today plugin' box checked!

The button name can be changed in 'Window title' on the same page.

I will be posting all of my QVGA taskbars conversions here in one location. These are all primarily ports of Tsowen's excellent work that I have been assisting with at PPCGeeks. This is going to take a few days as I consolidate everything, clean it up and re-organize. I do have a GSM mod to the block taskbar that I will be posting. Everything else is mainly CDMA, but I will do what I can to help since I no longer have a QVGA device to test things on.

When installing the Taskbars, remember to go in the following order:

1. Backup your device

2. SDKCerts Cab

3. No2Chem Battery Driver

4. Once those are installed, use Total Commander or Resco Explorer (preferred) to make back ups of all the dll's you are about to change by adding .bak to the file name.

5. Use Reso Explorer or TC to add the entire contents of the file folder in the zip to you root \Windows file in main memory

WARNING for QVGA Device Owners: For the Bluetooth Icons to work, you need to have the Opal/Jade Phone Canvas installed for this to work. I have it and all of the files you will need for it to work on a QVGA phone here.

I'm having a hard time getting things loaded up on XDA, so for now, here is the link to my main posting at PPCGeeks. I will get all of this set up and better organized for y'all soon.

One other note, these are for WM 6/6.1 ONLY! They will not work properly if you install them on a 6.5 sys.

Block Icons Taskbar Theme

Here are the Block Icon Taskbar sets, both CDMA and GSM:

I am also including the Opal/Jade Phonecanvas. You will not get the Bluetooth Icons if you do not have this installed. If you are on GSM phone, do not install the Dan's HTC Touch Phone Codes Fix. That is for CDMA users only.

If you choose to install that Dialer, use and advanced task manager to shutdown the cprog function before installing and backup your system.

Install in the following order:

1. Phone Skin Cab

2. SJ Patch (if you want hte slide to answer feature. If you do, make sure you disable that feature in S2US. They don't play well together)

3. Dan's Touch Fix Cab (this fixes the dialer codes and 911)

4. Open the included folder

5. Albert's Phone Canvas Lock Cab

6. Use Resco to copy the loose files into \Windows

If you already have the phonecanvas cooked in (That's the best way...) you don't have to install this.

The MMSRes dll is for you Arcsoft users:

If you are using the Rhodium Notification Manager, there is a cab for you that will skin the signal icons and large notification icons. Do not install this if you are not using a sys of 21000 or above. This will replace the HTC Large Title Bar.

And finally, here is my revolver battery. There are 2 versions, one for 100%, 99, 98, etc. The other goes by 10s. I haven't actually tried this for QVGA yet, so I'll be interested in getting some feedback.

Hi,

I have a qvga device. How can i have those beautiful taskbar icons?

Can u explain step by step? And which files i have to use?

Thanx. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadgetFreak:
I have to run to a meeting, but if you click on the link to PPCgeeks, the detailed instructions are there. Essentially all you need to do is install the SDKCerts cab, then the no2chem 6800 battery cab, then the taskbar cab of your choice. Just so you know, I have not yet added my GSM mods to the block icons set. That is so far the only one that has the GSM signal icons modded. It's on my list of things to do...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HC4Life:
Thanx, i will try and report. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 66mustang:
Thanks for this, I have a qvga device (Kaiser) and I too just get the confidence to try this, then I read something about CDMA - and I then see all these lovely icons slipping through my fingers.

Thanks for all the good work that you and Tsowen have done here and over at PPCgeeks. It almost makes me want to get a VGA device just for these gorgeous icons.

I can see this is a work in progress - I'll be patient and maybe I'll get the confidence to have a go at this...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadgetFreak:
It's really not too bad, especially when doing it by cab. Once things settle down and I get the boy to bed, I'll get my GSM version of the Block Taskbar up.

Except for that when I rename phcanOverbmp.dll to phcanOverbmp.dll.bak, my P3600i makes a new phcanOverbmp.dll and then won't allow me to overwrite it with the customised one...

As the files are just overwritten, any chance of getting a cab for each toolbar? It would be much easier than tracking down multiple files and installing in the correct order...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zelendel:
Hey GF. If you need a QVGA device to test things on just let me know My machine is at your disposal. Looking forward to your 6.5 GSM release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadgetFreak:
The block taskbar is installed by cab. For what ever reason, XDA keeps blocking the upload of my cab for the Elite TB.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 66mustang:
Mega. You gotta get the little one's sorted!

Thanks for your work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 66mustang:
I'm obviously missing something here -

I have installed sdkcerts.cab, done a soft re-set. I only want the block icons, not the skins or dialpad etc, so I then tried to install the GF Block Taskbar GSM.cab It gets 90% of the way through installing it, then stops and tells me installation was unsuccessfull.

I know it says install 3rd, do I need all the other junk in my trunk from post number 2 as well?

Thanks GF, for holding us numptys by the hand.

Also is the elite taskbar only CDMA?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GadgetFreak:
That's a new one. I'll look at how I have the cab constructed and make sure I didn't miss a security setting. The 2 file activates the single percentage point battery meter, so yes you will need it for this to look right. And the Elite TB is GSM ready.

Hi everyone!

As the mighty D2 is finally hitting the polish market and I'm compelled to buy one, I have a small question to ask. The polish version will have InterWrite installed for "polonizing" the interface and I heard that it can negatively impact the system performance. Is that true? Personally I dont need the polish language, so I wonder if uninstalling InterWrite just after buying the device would be something worth consideration.
